For the price, it's a nice Chess game with a charming personality and nice music and aesthetics. I feel like the tune will be stuck in my head tomorrow. Lots of cool fun facts about the games you're solving. I only encountered one bug where the text glitched out, but it wasn't a big problem.
Mid-Century USSR Championships follows the same exact format as the prior early century game, but with games and puzzles from later on. There really isn't too much difference, so my same gripes still apply to this one as the prior one. I still don't like how some puzzles lacked further explanation or any sort of free play mode so that I can actually understand why some things are the way they are. There were a handful of positions that I still didn't understand well after the explanation.
Each game in the series gets more challenging. Glad I have a loving teacher
Sempre divertida a forma de aprender e visualizar as jogadas!
Отличная игра для тренировки интеллекта. Я бы рекомендовал приступать к ней после усиленной тренировки шахматной тактики по сборникам упражнений (например в андроид-приложении Шахматный тренер), а то иначе это превращается в безыдейный перебор возможных ходов-кандидатов. В остальном хорошо: чувствуешь, как становишься немножко вровень с шахматными звёздами СССР.
I was very curious to know the Soviet champions' chess moves, but a pity that I can't play real chess, besides my lack of skill, this game is extremely interesting for those who want to master the best chess moves.
BOT.vinnik Chess: Mid-Century USSR Championships is one of around six educational Chess puzzle games where you play subsets of chess games under guidance from a slightly snarky 2D retro pixel robot. The purpose is to teach advanced Chess stratagems to the player. Playing this game and understanding the puzzles will definitely make you better at chess. While the puzzles are fun, and the core design work, especially the puzzle selection and presentation and narration of the puzzles is very good, the implementation here is not so good. Each game only has around 20 short puzzles, and it's unclear why this had to be launched as 6 separate games. Did the publisher really want to pay Valve $600 instead of the $100 required to launch a game? The visual and interface quality is very low, as well, with monochrome 2D retro pixel art making everything look ugly. This is the kind of thing that really could have been done in a browser or even just a Youtube video, so charging money for it on Steam seems overly ambitious.
It's great absolute recommend
Игра BOT.vinnik Chess: Mid-Century USSR Championships оставила у меня крайне негативные впечатления. Несмотря на интересный концепт, связанный с шахматами и историческим контекстом, реализация оказалась неудачной. Во-первых, графика и интерфейс выглядят устаревшими и неинтуитивными. Даже для любителей ретро-стиля, это может показаться слишком примитивным. Управление не всегда отзывчивое, что создает дополнительные неудобства во время игры. Во-вторых, ИИ противников оставляет желать лучшего. Он либо слишком прост, что делает игру скучной, либо, наоборот, абсолютно неадекватный, что приводит к фрустрации. Отсутствие баланса в уровне сложности делает игру неинтересной для игроков с разным опытом. Кроме того, недостаток объяснений и обучения для новичков делает эту игру сложной для восприятия. Я ожидал более глубокого погружения в шахматную стратегию и тактику, но вместо этого столкнулся с запутанной механикой и отсутствием полезных подсказок. В целом, BOT.vinnik Chess: Mid-Century USSR Championships не оправдала мои ожидания. Я бы не рекомендовал эту игру как для новичков, так и для опытных игроков. Есть множество других шахматных приложений и игр, которые предлагают гораздо более качественный и увлекательный опыт.
The most fun and educative game of chess ever!!!
